Known as KL and founded in the 1890's, Malaysia's capital city of 920,000 people is experiencing a rapid growth rate.
Kuala Lumpur actually means "Muddy Estuary," a name which is hardly an indication of the bustling and modern city which exists today.
The airport is served by many airlines, including Malaysian Airline. Malayan Railways operates over 100 miles of lines from Singapore to Thailand by two routes. Roads are fine, although sometimes difficult during monsoon season.
